Just seen the whole footage, 3 parts-the struggle-the chase-the murder, and its absolutely disgusting to see. They showed slow motion replays on CNN just there and I can’t get it out my head.
For clarity, I couldn’t watch the GF video, seen stills as that was enough for me, sorry if that doesn’t sound right, I think this is the most I’ve watched of the numerous videos of black people being killed by Cop.
I can’t understand how a man or human would do that, shoot an innocent person who was running away, causing no harm, its sick.

Today, hundreds of far-right demonstrators from across the country travelled to Parliament Square in London to “defend” a statue of Winston Churchill, before attacking police and fighting among themselves.
On a bright, sunny day, the atmosphere among demonstrators in Parliament Square was tense, fuelled by large amounts of alcohol and drugs. Many of the mostly white, middle-aged men had bought large quantities of beer, wine and spirits to consume, and many were already inebriated by midday. Individuals were openly bumping keys of coke and taking laughing gas, fuelling the aggression directed at many passers-by.
In the early afternoon, a large group of men in military and para-military outfits turned up to the demonstration, prompting cheers, chants of the national anthem and a rendition of “Rule Britannia”. As the crowds of men became drunker, police began to cordon off Parliament Square, leading to fights between police and demonstrators, as well as fights within the group.
I believe this is the first time they have used a spliced/altered image. I will be pointing it out to deplorable family members as often as possible.
Biden and anyone making anti Trump ads should be seizing on this.
Friendly reminder that Y’all Qaeda pointed loaded assault rifles at federal agents with impunity, concurrent with all of right wing media expressing outrage at law enforcement.

It’s from the Wendy’s fast food restaurant and shows in clear details with slow motion clarity that the person running away turned his head around to face the Officers, while pointing backwards with the taser for about 1/1.5 seconds before turning his head back around and at that point is when the officer draws his weapon and shot him in the (What seemed the back).

Atlanta may be kicking off tonight, lots of protesters blocking the Interstate, the attorneys for Rayshard Brooks were on MSNBC tonight speaking, seems the story about being drunk is a Cop rumor and it was his kids birthday today.
Watching the local Atlanta news. The highway is backed up for miles in both directions. For reference, the protest is in the absolute middle of Atlanta, where I-75 and I-85 converge.
Is that as important an intersection as the quick look at Google Maps would make me think?
The Atlanta Wendy’s where the murder occurred is on fire.

Murdered or involved in police related deaths?
It does no justice to the murdered to lump them in with the justifiably killed.
Why are you so hostile?
Obviously, there are some unjustified killings (murders). I’ve seen at least a dozen on body cam video.
It’s ridiculous to conflate all of the killings with murder without any factual basis other than ACAB.
Was OJ guilty?
New Chappelle is predictably excellent
You have 28 people on ignore and this still happens?
I don’t have enough palms to put on my face for the local news anchor commentary from these Atlanta streams.
